Result Announcement Date: 01.10.2024 and 01.04.2025
How Does the Scholarship System Work?
Thanks to the partnership between our foundation and foreign language schools, the foundation covers part of the course fees for students who are awarded the foreign language scholarship, and the remaining portion is paid by the recipient. The foundation continues to support you in the next level after successfully completing each level.
To do this, you must first complete your application as described below during the application period. Following an evaluation by the scholarship selection committee, a number of recipients are selected based on available quotas. After the selected recipients are informed, they can freely choose the language school they wish to attend and notify the foundation.
Scholarship recipients are required to attend 60% of the classes. Otherwise, the recipient will be obligated to repay the scholarship amount. Days missed due to health issues are not counted in the attendance requirement.
Check Article (11.e) in the Scholarship Regulation.
Who Can Be a Scholarship Recipient?
You do not need to be a university student to receive the YKV Foreign Language Scholarship. Any young person between the ages of 18-26 can apply for the scholarship.
Once a recipient qualifies for the Foreign Language Scholarship, they may continue to the next level as long as they meet the minimum success criteria at each level in the chosen language. However, they cannot change the language they initially qualified for. In this sense, our foreign language scholarships are not limited to one year or one level.
